EYE EXAM

A comprehensive eye exam is relatively simple and comfortable and shouldn’t take more than 45 to 90 minutes. The exam should include the following:

When the natural lens becomes cloudy, causing decreased vision, we remove and replace it with a permanent intraocular lens implant to restore your sight. Cataract surgery is performed when the patient feels they can no longer see well enough to enjoy hobbies, have difficulty driving due to decreased vision and /or glare or are not able to do the things in life that are necessary.

Diabetic retinopathy, the most common diabetic eye disease, occurs when blood vessels in the retina change. Sometimes these vessels swell and leak fluid or even close off completely. In other cases, abnormal new blood vessels grow on the surface of the retina. Laser surgery can stop the growth of abnormal new vessels and reduce macular swelling.
